In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (tantric Buddhism)Advayavajra (अद्वयवज्र) (incorrectly spelt as Advayavakra or perhaps Advayacakra in the colophon), is the author of the Gūḍhapadā commentary of the Mañjuśrīnāmasaṃgīti.—This Advayavajra is very likely not the same as the famous Advayavajra or Maitreyanātha (some good reasons against this identification are listed in Isaacson and Sferra 2014, 74–75).
Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesAdvayavajra (अद्वयवज्र) translated into Tibetan the Herukābhyudaya, which is mentioned in the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—The Herukābhyudaya was translated into Tibetan by Advayavajra. The Herukābhyudaya contains a passage that is more archaic than the Cakrasaṃvara (Sanderson 2009, pp. 213–14; Szántó 2012 a, p. 37)
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
